The Blues found themselves two behind inside 34 minutes following Shinji Okazaki's brace, but goals either side of half-time from Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta soon brought them level.
Leicester's chances of victory were dealt a serious blow after they saw Marcin Wasilewski sent off just before the end of the 90 minutes, before Fabregas then struck twice inside two minutes in extra-time to seal Chelsea's progression.
Also on Tuesday, Ragnar Klavan scored his first goal for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp's side cruised to a 3-0 win at Derby County.

Granit Xhaka scored from a thunderous long-range strike and Lucas Perez added two goals to help Arsenal defeat Nottingham Forest 4-0.
The Swiss midfielder was given space 35 yards from goal in the 23rd minute, his shot taking a deflection off of the back of Chris Cohen and finding the net after grazing the fingertips of goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic.

Reading managed a 2-1 win at Brighton despite playing the entire second half with 10 men.
